Wichita weather: Temperatures to climb into the 40s

A heat wave for Wichita in the winter? Highs in the 40s on Wednesday may feel like that after the deep freeze of the past week.

Sunny skies and light northerly winds will help conditions seem more pleasant, forecasters say. Thursday will see a few more clouds and highs again in the 40s.

Chances for freezing drizzle move into the forecast early Friday morning, forecasters say, before daytime warmth converts any precipitation into light rain. It’ll be cloudy Friday, with highs climbing into the mid-40s.
